Only a few months after joining Netcompany in Norway, Magnus Myklegard got the opportunity to work abroad in Denmark on the digitalization project with the Danish Customs Agency. Being a recent graduate, he faced various challenging tasks while working in a foreign country and adjusting to a new language. But, with an unwavering dedication and impressive work ethic, he quickly developed and gained new competencies in his role as a consultant. Today, he plays an important role in the team as they work on integrating a new toll system in Denmark.

A new chapter in Denmark

Shortly after joining Netcompany, Magnus` journey continued in Copenhagen, where he got the opportunity to work with the Danish Customs Agency. Although working in a new country as a recent graduate was challenging to begin with, a warm welcome, combined with great support and guidance from his new Danish colleagues, made the transition from student to consultant easier.

“My colleagues in Denmark were very welcoming, and I was quickly integrated into the team. Although several of the technologies that we used were new to me, the other team members were always there to help me out if I had any concerns or questions. I always felt supported, which also made it easier for me to learn new things in a short amount of time.

Growth through responsibility

Having quickly adapted to the Danish culture and working environment, Magnus` impressive work has led him to receive more trust and responsibility. Reflecting on his time in Denmark, he considers the experience of living abroad as a critical part of his growth journey.

“Entering as an “outsider” and a recent graduate was a difficult but exciting challenge, which I believe made me develop myself faster, both professionally and personally. Also, being a part of a project that is implementing a new toll system in Denmark is a huge responsibility, and it has been a valuable experience that already has, and undoubtedly also will benefit me in my future professional career.”
